Hi, I have started this game from the beginning 4-5 times in the past year. And each time I needed 5+ tries and a Cleric to finish the first stage. But today after 1.0 release I finished stage 1 on my second try, and stage 2 on my first try. I see that you lowered the difficulty of the game. Monsters are now just cannon fodder that do not harm me. Some bosses die after 3-4 hits. I spent more time on the new boss that holds the key for Wellkeeper than on final Lord. I recommended this game to my friends and told them that they need to take a vacation because they will play this game for week in a row. Now I feel ashamed of that recommendation. After today's release it is no longer halls of torment, it is halls of fun for one evening. Now I can play with only one hand, and scroll the news on my phone with the other. I am very upset that the game has lost its torment vibe and has become casual.
#Version 1.0 is very easy and boring

Hey @fallow wadi. Not a dev or anything, but I was extremely worried about what your claim said. I literally just had the same experience booting up on a fresh save and didnt want an easier game at all. So I thought I would test your claim.
I downloaded a version from November 27th 2023 and started the game completely fresh to see if the game really WAS harder. My takeaway from doing that is: its really not (but I know why you might think it was). I actually surpassed where I died the first run on the current version, and I'd argue it was actually easier on the older version.
The real thing that I noticed that might give that perception though was the enemy count. There were definitely a lot more enemies in the older update by a noticeable margin. However, the stat increases were way larger on leveling up and the abilities you could get on a fresh save were also much better than what you can currently get on the current version. This meant that I felt more than equipped to kill everything. You've also undoubtedly gotten better from just playing more often. Skill issue.... but in the other direction. Youre too good now lol

I thought it was probably just that he had gotten better too lmao, but he's complaining about it.
I played the mobile version and beat the first stage on my first try. That was with no upgrades

Just one stage and one character. I stopped playing it soon after I got it lol. I'll most likely buy it when it's done though

guys, i think the first stage, now that there are plenty of stages, is supposed to be easy if you know what you are doing, you know, like in any game :P

also I think it's understable that some of the stages were maybe easier than before now that in addition to agony you have artefacts

New stage is harder than anything else in the game anyway, so even if it was easier, it isn't end game and it doesn't really matter.
